Osprey "Chosen Man " rules

[tradgardmastre]

Anyone know anything about these forthcoming rules? Size of units etc etc?

"Chosen Men is a set of fast-action skirmish rules detailing the bloody skirmishes between light troops in the Napoleonic Wars. The primary focus of the game is on soldiers and NCOs in light 'flank' companies, as they scout ahead of larger forces and take part in man-to-man actions against enemy skirmishers.

Although the game allows for the formation of accurately sized companies of light infantry and cavalry if you wish, these formations are broken down into small groups of up to a dozen men. For the most part, officers are not swashbuckling super-heroes, but staunch commanders who rally and direct their men to achieve the battlefield objectives. Although the game uses an alternating action turn sequence, officers can use their influence on multiple units at the same time in an effort to steal the initiative. With all rolls resolved using standard 6-sided dice, this game combines a classic wargaming feel with modern wargame mechanics."

from Osprey's own site - hope this helps!

Less information, I think. Seems it is not so well supported by Osprey, because Rogue Star is also released in december. Bad Luck for Choosen Men. Heard some rumours, that it was avaible before, but coudn't find somethig about it.
Hard stand for the game, because it has to fight Sharp Practice with big support.

Sounds like it is at a different level to SP2 which needs 40-50 figures, CM seems to need maybe 12?

It may not help you in your search for information, but I can tell you it's currently available to buy from North Star, a little ahead of the scheduled release date, and for £10.

I think it's a competitor for Song of Shakos & Bayonets rather than Sharp Practice.
